Bob, Jill, Lillian, Esther Grieci, Evie, Anthony DeFelice, Sr. Claire S.M., Anne Clark, Brody Yeager, Robert & Joan Cataldo, Nicholas, Carmel, Judy Malouf, Erin, Ann Hanning, all the sick & suffering RIP: Carolyn Keilty, Gennaro Dagostino, Wilfred Aucoin ATTACKS ON GOD Destruction of oldest Christian monastery in Iraq Satellite photos obtained by The Associated Press confirm what church leaders and Middle East preservationists had feared: The oldest Christian monastery in Iraq has been reduced to a field of rubble, yet another victim of the Islamic State group's relentless destruction of heritage sites it considers heretical. St. Elijah's Monastery stood as a place of worship for 1,400 years, including most recently for U.S. troops. In earlier millennia, generations of monks tucked candles in the niches, prayed in the chapel, worshipped at the altar. The Greek letters chi and rho, representing the first two letters of Christ's name, were carved near the entrance. "Our Christian history in Mosul is being barbarically leveled," said Father Paul Thabit Habib. “We see it as an attempt to expel us from Iraq, eliminating and finishing our existence in this land.” ST.

ON THE BULLETIN COVER Presentation in the temple Pietro Cavallini’s thirteenth century mosaic adorns the apse in the Basilica of Our Lady in Trastevere, Rome. Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time January 31, 2016 SAINT MARY PARISH Dear parishioners, Last week, I was looking at the parish sacramental statistics for 2015. These were the numbers for last year: 63 people, a majority of them infants, became Christians through baptism. There were 39 First Holy Communion recipients, and 36 adults and young adults were confirmed. Some of those who received First Holy Communion and Confirmation were also received into the Catholic Church. This means they were baptized in another Christian denomination but wanted to become Catholics. Eight people became Catechumens last year in anticipation of becoming Christians in the future. Twenty-five couples were united through the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. This included seven couples who were wedded at Mass on February 14. Fiftythree people were buried with funeral rites from the Church. Give thanks for all the grace that flowed through here last year. Of course, numbers don’t tell the whole story… or even close to it. We don’t count the number of people who received the Sacraments of Healing through penance and the anointing of the sick, yet we do know that confessions were heard almost every day of the year. There are a huge number of confessions being heard in this parish compared to most other parishes. We also anointed hundreds and hundreds of sick people at the monthly anointing Masses, visits to the hospitals, nursing homes, and people’s homes. Again we can say thanks be to God. And thanks be to God that the grace of God reached even just one person – for them it may have meant everything. Let us continue, without focusing on numbers, to bring people to the grace of God through the Sacraments… and avail that grace to us as much as possible and whenever necessary for our lives and salvation. – Father Michael FATHER DAVID MARTIN RETURNS Fr. David has returned from his month back home in Uganda. His time away included work for the medical mission, visits to friends and family, and time for his annual priestly retreat. We pray that Fr. David’s time away was successful and we are glad to have him back. ANNUAL BABY SHOWER Join the Archdiocesan Parish Family Baby Shower at St. Mary Parish on February 13 and 14.

VINCENT DE PAUL In the Gospel today, Jesus show us that we are called to place Gospel values before any other values and to be willing to put our lives on the line for them. Taking care of God’s poor is indeed living Gospel values. Our living the Gospel is what must shape our everyday choices. We must act according to the teachings of Christ, never according to those of the world. Praying for the poor can bring the love and peace of Jesus to those who live in fear and doubt, loneliness and dread. We pray for the grace to proclaim the Gospel in our lives. May we live the values that Jesus taught. We pray that our words and actions bear witness to Christ. May we live the values that Jesus taught. We pray that we may bring hope and healing to the sick and suffering. May we live the values that Jesus taught.

Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time January 31, 2016 Queridos hermanos en Cristo: Hace unos días un grupo de Luteranos visitó el Vaticano y algunos asistieron a la Misa Católica y recibieron la Comunión, éste hecho causó cierto revuelo en las redes sociales porque la Comunión es reservada a Católicos que están debidamente preparados para recibir el cuerpo de Cristo. La Santa Misa en español se transmite Si bién es cierto que hay muchas personas trabajando por la Unidad de los Cristianos es importante recordar que tenemos cosas que nos han separado desde la Reforma Protestante de hace 499 años. el canal de Waltham es Verizon 47, Comcast 8, RCN 3 El pasado mes de noviembre, el Cardenal de Boston, Seán O’Malley y el Obispo James Hazelwood, por la Iglesia Evangélica Luterana en América, firmaron una declaración conjunta el primero de noviembre de 2015, en ella se lee lo siguiente: Grupo de apoyo a personas afectadas por Cáncer “Lo que tenemos en común es nuestra fé en la Trinidad del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo, compartimos un Bautismo en Jesucristo, nuestro Señor y Salvador. La Reforma, estaba interesada en un asunto también importante hoy para nosotros, nuestra relación con Dios y nuestro destino eterno. Después de cuarenta años de Diálogo entre Luteranos y Católicos en los Estados Unidos y globalmente en Octubre 31 de 1999, La Iglesia Católica Romana y la Federación Luterana Mundial firmaron una declaración conjunta sobre la Doctrina de la Justificación,llegando a un consenso sobre el asunto central de la división en la Era de la Reforma. “Juntos confesamos: por la gracia, y la fé en el Salvífico trabajo de Cristo y no por ningún mérito de nuestra parte, somos aceptados por Dios y recibimos el Espíritu Santo, quien renueva nuestros corazones mientras nos llama a hacer buenas obras”. Hay mucha gente trabajando por la unidad pero aún no estamos unidos y los Católicos deben asistir a la Misa Católica y algunos casos especiales como un funeral de amigo o conocido, puede participar de un servicio luterano, pero no con regularidad ni creyendo que la Misa Católica y el Servicio Luterano sean lo mismo. Si un clérigo participara de un Servicio Luterano deberá sentarse con los participantes y no puede usar vestimentas litúrgicas como alba, casulla o dalmática. todos los martes a las 8:00 p.m. y el domingo a las 10:00 a.m.. Si usted tiene cable, MINISTERIO DE LA SEMANA Este grupo de sobrevivientes de Cáncer se reúne el segundo sábado de cada mes en el edificio de Educación Religiosa. A medida que compartimos nuestra trayectoria con el cáncer, obtenemos fuerza y esperanza de otros, de la Biblia, y del orar los unos por los otros. Los esperamos.
